Hokkaido, A Paradise For Beer Lovers

Sapporo, Hokkaido, is the city where full-scale beer brewing in Japan started. We will introduce five places near Sapporo where you can learn about beer and of course, taste various sorts of the popular beverage.

Sapporo Beer Museum

In this museum, you will learn the history of beer brewing. You will also learn how to pour a beer to make it tastier.

After the visit, you can try Sapporo beer (a paid service). We recommend you to try Sapporo Classic, which is tasty and easy to drink, and is only available in Hokkaido.

Sapporo Kaitakushi Brewery

In this brewery, you'll find many exhibits that will teach you the history of Sapporo Beer, including the caldron used for beer preparation.

Nearby, there is a shop where you can taste a beer which has been produced to taste exactly the same as when the brewery was founded. Although the beer's taste is simple, imagining the time when the beer was first brewed will make you enjoy it even more.

It is quite obvious that each of these breweries is aiming at creating the best taste for their beers. The beer fresh out of the brewery is very tasty. Experience the Japanese beer culture by learning about beer, and by drinking a lot of it!
